its not even necessary, people here are giving already very good advises for the new schedule and mentioned this problem already several times. They decided to still have this Game for whatever reason on a Monday (it would be even better on a sunday, and change the 500$ sunday to tuesday) , i think we should accept this one and get back to thing we can change right now.
Satellites are improving through the hole schedule, overlays are going down, i think they are doing better then before. Lets wait for the new schedule and give them some additional feedback for it.

Anyway im not saying get rid of it (Although think it would work better at 320/500) Just do something on a Tuesday as well to take advantage of the bump in people wanting to play high stakes on that day.

Just run another 1k or 500 fo on the Tuesday?
Tuesdays have been thought about .. our new offering may not be ideal for you but maybe we meet your expectations in the middle.

I am fully confident in the team we have currently- they have worked hard and our offering is showing this in recent changes - its a small but dedicated team and we will continue to aim to please - I agree this thread has been instrumental in some changes and hope we can continue to work together in the same format.

(chat support rep): this will be decided by the promotions team at the end of the promo
(chat support rep): usually, they are converted
Steve: Pokerfest is almost over, and management is waiting untill its done to tell us, thats insane but not unexpected from Party, ok well....

Im sorry but Party *waiting* till the entire series is over to tell us if we get ANY rehimbursement for un-used event ticket's is kinda insane.

I could see for the smaller event's like $5 buyin's but for the bigger event's we need to know (in this case, i was asking about event #75 2K buyin) if we are geting rembursed with T $ for the ticket value's or abosutely getting zero dollars for it, we kinda need to know to make proper desicions about playing those event's or not.

Can the Party Poker Rep comment on this?

what is the upper management decision on this, so we can make educated descisions.

Have you even considered to read this thread? She has answered this several times, and your exact question just a couple days ago.

I guess not,

Do you know how to use the quote feature properly, so people know who you are referring too in your response?

I guess not.
11-04-2015 , 02:43 PM
I think it's pretty obvious, based on my response, and directly below yours, is clearly intended at you.

Also I'm on tapatalk on mobile and unaware of any multi quoting features.

Post series tournament issued tickets will be converted. Bonus issued tickets will not be converted if unused as per our T&Cs

To be clear - If an entry ticket was awarded as a bonus/goodwill offer or comp - these will not be converted post series
Any tickets won via satellites or main tournaments will be converted

Thanks

What`s the point of Party Fest if you replace daily majors with special events (which eventually can be worse than original daily major)?

For example, tomorrow (on Friday) you have $109 6max DS (but the structure is worse than std daily major has) with 15k gtd starting at 22.00 cet but at the same time you removed std 109 re-entry 25k starting at 21.00 cet.... how is it possible? can you fix it?

not sure I want to launch the client tomorrow

During our headline series we will always replace the regular major events to prevent them being cannibalized by the series events.
Feedback noted however
We are happy with our planned events and no changes will be made at this stage

Thanks

Today’s offer for all - players who deposit $25 USD min will receive a $10 ticket to event #60 (3K GTD) - using code POKERFESTDAY13

Good luck!
11-07-2015 , 11:55 PM
just thought id bring it up since it seemed to slip under the radar @colette, event #77 the $530 buyin is using the old structure where the antes start at the 100/200 blind level
or a full 2 hours into the start. probably too late to fix now just thought id point it out.
11-08-2015 , 09:31 PM
Heyho,
new schedule is out and it looks pretty nice.

Some things:
-At the beginning i would expect some overlay in the 109 3RE 50k and 20 RE 15k, but you should give them some time till people saw the new schedule ......
-50r is still @ 00:45, hoplefully you fixed the break problem after 15 minutes?! If not there's no problem to start it @ 00:00.
-109-Turbo with 8 mins is very awesome!!
-there could be another 20+turbo half rebuy @ the end of the daily schedule, i really think @ 00:00 CET or 23:30 CET would be a nice place for such a tournament with 3k grt. Players want to play fast games @ the end of the schedule.
-109 Main-Event on a sunday sounds pretty nice!
- there is still room for the 55r on a daily basis + saturday and sunday. I think on a sunday it would be huge 30k+

Appreciate that your team implemented some suggestion from here.

Maybe someone else has some more suggestions?!

Whaa? No more $200 buy in Sunday major. What happens to any of us that have a $200 ticket for the $150k?

there are a few issues in new schedule:

1. a lot of people are going to complain about this but we all saw it coming right? pretty much every daily major is a re-entry

2.there are a bunch of new $55 tournaments but there are no satelites to that buyin level, atleast none that i am seeing.

3.there are 2 huge gaps that have no tournaments at all in the daily schedule. @3pm EST there is nothing. there is the $350 on tuesday but not seeing anything for tommorow. @5 and @6pm est there is nothing either. was this on purpose or the stuff for those specific times are just not showing up yet ?
11-08-2015 , 09:59 PM
Agreed, looks good. Rebuys aren`t raked anymore.

And please mark $55 plo at 20.20cet in a blue colour as well and maybe add some gtd

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce partypoker has today joined forces with four time boxing World Champion Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch to unveil a thumping new tournament schedule, the partypoker Power Series. The Power Series promises to beat down buy-in levels, while pumping up guarantees to over $1.25 million per week - delivering knockout value for all levels of players.

The Power Series consists of four categories: Featherweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight and High Rollers which are guaranteed to the tune of $1,284,000 a week, with buy-ins ranging from $2.20 to $1,050 so there really is something for everyone.

https://www.partypoker.com/whats-goi...er-series.html

Alongside the launch of the Power Series we are celebrating Froch’s new role as partypoker ambassador by giving 99 partypoker contenders the chance to knock the champ out and win a share of $100,000! Players can qualify between 9th November and 6th December 2015 by playing any of the Power Series tournaments. The top 99 places will be entered to play the tournament against Froch on Sunday 13th December - all details can be found on our promo page -

https://www.partypoker.com/whats-goi...challenge.html

As always we appreciate and welcome your feedback and questions

Kind regards

Please make a microstakes filter as well in the mtt lobby. No point in having 11cent mtts in the same filter as 11rebuys.
11-09-2015 , 01:32 PM
When does the power series finish and what happens to the mtt schedule once it does?

Seems like there arent many changes and most tournaments have just been renamed, but i do like the addition of turbo freezeouts at 9pm.

What i dont like is the main event is re entry.Your flagship tournament should never be re entry and now it seems to have dropped to 109 buy?
Doesnt make sense for there to be the weigh in at $109 and the main event priced the same.Main should be $200 and no re entry.Recs are willing to take a shot at 200, but not 400 or 600, while regs are.This is poker for the pros,not for the people.

Other changes id like is changing the 2 $22 rebuy turbos during the daytime changed to $11 rebuy turbo so they are more affordable and cut the late reg on these a bit.

Also this 11r at 6pm should just be a standard rebuy and not half price rebuy
11-09-2015 , 01:47 PM
Hey Colette

i think Party should re-instate a Sunday $200 major. Even dying FTP has reverted Sunday Major from $100 to $250. My proposal is to have 5 Big tournaments on Sunday with 5 dif. buy-ins so that you please all types of players: $22, $55, $109, $200 and $530. But the flagship tournament (and that with most sattys and advertising) should be the $200.

Nice change converting blinds from 5 to 8 mins of 109t which gives the tournament greater playibility. Also, it should be stressed somewhere as I was informed of this change only here. For instance, you can put a "new blind structure" sign on the lobby or something.

The HeavyWeight Main Event should be stressed in the lobby w a dif color. Bold Dark blue could be an option. Again, its something that everyone should see clearly as soon as openining the MTT lobby as it will be your star MTT next Sunday.
